Melegueta

Melegueta (also known by the Terran term "grains of paradise") is an herbaceous perennial plant, which was first discovered on the northeast coast of First Land, soon after the founding of Ship in LY 360. Since then it has also been found to grow throughout the East Isles. Its seeds may be ground into a spice which can be used in cooked dishes, as an ingredient in sauces, chai tea, ale, and may also be used as a table seasoning.
